... suffice to say, the CEO of Panera released a statement promoting peace and tolerance and condemning the alt-right. Not regular Republicans. The alt-right.
But of course the thin-skinned crybabies on the right assumed it was a hateful attack on them - because that's what being an asshole is all about and are howling and crying they will boycott Panera.
I've been jabbing the fuckers telling them: "Thanks for telling us that. I have a family of 5 and we LOVE Panera and will make sure to eat there as often as possible to support them."
All I'm saying is they do indeed have great food and service - unlike that right-wing shithole that is Chik-Fil-A which sells greasy crap largely to idiots who love an institution that says gay marriage is wrong - and if you're inclined to eat somewhere please help them out.
LOL, disclaimer I do NOT work at Panera; I am an IT guy and writer but we need to stick with like-minded people in their hour of need.
To think Panera is being subjected to boycotts for promoting peace.
As Forrest Gump said, "That's all I got to say about that."

Thank you all so much if you even consider it. I swear the right-wingers are SO PISSED OFF by what I've done. Their self-righteous little squawks of "I'm never eating there again!" just disintegrated since I basically said: "We ALL are!" Ha!
And if that isn't reason enough to grab a bite there, what is?
Thank you, thank you...

(3,075 posts)totally need to stop in this weekend. I was unaware of this boycott. that's crazy. Panera has a relatively clean, non-processed food menu. Unfortunately that Asiago Cheese Bagel is still not considered "health food" haha.

(42,862 posts)... it's a real shame. But, at least we know what their true feelings are, and what their motivations are.
Their masks are slipping.

(2,120 posts)I've been letting the upset right-wingers know that the more they howl the more people I'm getting to help overturn their boycott.
And shame on anyone who gets upset at a message promoting peace and tolerance because "it's too political" and "they didn't mention the alt-left/BLM/Antifa some other target I dont' like." Either way it boils down to "Panera is being MEAN to Republicans!"

(12,448 posts)Especially the strawberry/chicken poppyseed salad, available only in season. Yum!
Their chicken salad is outstanding too. Hell, all their food is great.
